Not the list you want be on...
Matt Kalil, LT, Minnesota Vikings (35.3)

It didn’t seem to matter who lined up across from Kalil on Sunday night—they were going to beat him rushing the passer. Kalil allowed a sack, a hit, and three hurries in Sam Bradford’s Minnesota debut, and was beaten on an additional four other pass rushes, though no pressure was recorded. Kalil also allowed two run stops, and was just unable to make many positive blocks all game.


https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro-10 ... of-week-2/


Each lineman only had 36 pass-blocking plays to contend with, and yet every member surrendered pressure … through two weeks of action the Vikings now have three of their linemen rank in the bottom five of their position in PFF grade … Matt Kalil (36.9), Andre Smith (40.0) and Brandon Fusco (38.1) are all struggling badly, and expensive free-agent acquisition Alex Boone (54.2) isn’t much better than hat level. Center Joe Berger has been the team’s best lineman…”

He's good but not as good as Jordy thinks. Fusco is just that terrible. Im not impressed with Rick's idea of good linemen. Or a lot of the FA's he brings in. Or Qb's (other then Bradford hopefully).

We could have had Whitehair playing THIS year, but the Oline is something Rick must think isnt too important.

Clemmings may have actually been an upgrade over Kalil in this game. So sad.

I am wondering that too no matter how horrible Clemmings has been. Kalil's head isnt in the game, he doesnt even help his teamnates up, after letting them get hit.

I will be interested to see if they make any changes this week.

For those asking about Mike Harris
Harris was placed on the IR-non-football-illness list due to an unknown condition but is eligible to return October 31st against the Bears. (Updated September 14, 2016)

Agree. The offensive line is very worrisome. AP can't get to the line of scrimmage without being hit most of the time and the pass protection is not much better than the Run blocking.

I thought Clemmings did better in the preseason. They won't take Kalil out though. He is like Tahi.

Still no word on whether Daniels will be fined for his bare-bottomed spanking of Brandon Fusco. twitter.com/Andrew_Krammer…

I've been noticing this for a couple of years now: Besides being an incredible athlete a great football player, Clay Matthews is a cheap shot artist and bordeline thug IMO. And I would say it to his face too.

Still can't fathom how he wasn't ejected in the meeting before last for PUNCHING Mike Harris in the back of the head while he was on all fours.
